Why Contribute to the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis?

Support the Center

The Washington Center for Psychoanalysis provides psychoanalytic education and training for clinicians, scholars, and allied professionals. Its approach combines major theoretical traditions with contemporary research and applications in clinical care, education, scholarship, and social action.

The Center is recognized by the IRS as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.

What Contributions Support

• Clinical training for professionals who work with individuals, couples, and families.
• Low-fee treatment for people who might otherwise lack access to in-depth therapy.
• Community collaborations supporting children, parents, and families.
• Educational programs for clinicians, scholars, and professionals in fields including public policy, medicine, law, religion, writing, and the arts.
• Public lectures, seminars, webinars, film discussions, and theater programs.
• Advocacy for thoughtful assessment, collaborative treatment, mental-health parity, and patient privacy.

Your Contribution Makes a Difference

The Center relies heavily on volunteer clinicians and community members who contribute their expertise. Donations help close the gap between earned revenue and program costs while keeping tuition, dues, and fees accessible.

Your generosity helps sustain psychoanalytic education, clinical care, community outreach, and public engagement.
